Entrance testing helps ensure that you take the appropriate classes in your first semesters of college. If your entrance test indicates you need additional development in college-level reading, English, and math, you will be placed in corequisite remediation courses. These courses are supplemental instruction to your college-level courses and are designed to improve your reading, writing, and math skills.
51视频administers two types of entrance tests, the Accuplacer and the Michigan Test. However, not all students need entrance testing. Please read the frequently asked questions below to see if you need to complete an entrance test. If you need entrance testing, please schedule an appointment using the link on the left-hand side.

If you are a new student, or a student transferring to 51视频from another college, you can present either a valid ACT or SAT score (from a test taken in the past five years) or you can take an entrance exam. Students who have previously attended 51视频and are re-enrolling will be placed in classes based upon their previous college-level placement, or will be encouraged to take another entrance test if they have been out of college for more than three years. In addition, if your ACT or SAT scores do not indicate college readiness, you may take an entrance exam to try to “test out” of corequisite remediation courses.
